Dear friends, today we are going to talk about a seemingly inconspicuous but super practical little thing - solar road stud light! Whether it is a community road, a parking lot, or a country road, these small “night pearls” can guide you in the dark and improve the safety of night travel.
However, there are many kinds of solar road stud on the market, with prices ranging from dozens to hundreds, and the quality is also uneven. How can you choose a good product that is durable and worry-free? Don’t worry, I will give you a few tips!
1. Look at the battery and battery life
The core of the solar road stud light is the energy storage battery, which determines whether the light can continue to work on rainy days. There are currently two main types of batteries on the market:
Lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4): long life (5-8 years), high temperature and low temperature resistance, but slightly higher price.
Ordinary lithium battery: cheap, but short life (2-3 years), easy to fall off in extreme weather.
Suggestion: If you are in the north or rainy areas, give priority to lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have more stable battery life!
2. Pay attention to brightness and lighting mode
The brighter the road stud lights are, the better. They should be conspicuous but not dazzling.
Brightness: Generally, 5-15 lumens are enough. Too bright will affect the driver’s vision.
Lighting mode: Always on or flashing? If it is a curve or dangerous road, the slow flashing mode can better remind the driver to pay attention.
Tips: You can ask the seller to provide the measured brightness data to avoid false labeling!
3. The waterproof and dustproof level cannot be low
The road stud lights used outdoors must be able to withstand wind and rain!
IP level: at least IP65 (dustproof and waterproof), IP67 is better (can be immersed for a short time).
Material: The shell is preferably made of aluminum alloy or reinforced PC plastic, which is pressure-resistant and UV-resistant.
Pit avoidance guide: If the product does not have an IP level, just pass it!
4. Installation and maintenance should be convenient
No one wants to replace road stud lights every few days, so:
Installation method: choose punching + gluing double fixation, which is more secure.
Replaceable battery: You can replace the battery yourself after it ages, saving a lot of money!
Friendly reminder: Ask clearly whether it comes with installation tools before purchasing. Some brands will send special glue or buckles.
5. Brand and after-sales service are very important
Under-brand lights may be cheap, but it is more expensive to break after half a year.
Give priority to professional brands: For example, you can choose our products
Warranty period: at least 2 years
Money-saving tips: When purchasing in bulk, you can ask the seller to provide sample testing, and place an order only if you are satisfied!
Summary: My shopping list
✅ Battery: LiFePO4 > Ordinary lithium battery
✅ Brightness: 5-15 lumens + optional flashing mode
✅ Protection: IP65 or above, aluminum alloy/reinforced PC shell
✅ Installation: punching + gluing, battery replaceable
✅ Brand: professional manufacturer, warranty for more than 2 years
